E tata ana a pae tawhiti ki a Ngāi Māori o Heretaunga, i te whakataunga o ō rātou kerēme tiriti.
I tere pīpī whākao atu ngā uri o ngā marae rua tekau ma rua o Heretaunga-Tamatea ki Pāremata ki te waitohu i te kawenata whakaae.
Hei tā David Tipene Leach, “Kua rarī katoa mātou i roto i tō mātou tino rangatiratanga. Ko te whakaaetanga a te Karauna nō rātou te hē, koirā te mea nui.”
I roto i te kawenata whakaae ka whakahokia mai te Mataupo Maui, i mua i tōna whakahokinga atu ki te motu whānui.
Tāpiri ki tēnā he toru miriona taara ka tohatoha ki ngā marae ki te whakaako i ngā matauranga Māori me te reo Māori.
Hei tā Pita Sharples, “E rima ngā kerēme. Ko te tūmanako kia mahi tahi ai rātou.”
E ai ki tētahi o ngā kaiwhakarite, a Tākuta David Tipene-Leach, ahakoa ngā hua kua puta, ka wero rātou mō ētahi atu mea tae noa ki te waitohutanga o te whakataunga tiriti.
